What challenges are facilities facing today?
Providing Comfortable Working Conditions
Addressing extreme heat or cold in working environments can be challenging. Whether it’s circulating air for cooling or distributing warmer air, there are a number of benefits for creating more comfortable work environments related to productivity and employee satisfaction.
Excessive Energy Costs
When it’s hot outside and the heat makes its way indoors, energy costs can skyrocket as facilities try to cool spaced to combat reduced productivity and potential heat stress.
And attempts to fend off workplace cold often result in astronomical heating bills and spaces that are still frigid at floor level.
Solution: Big Ass Fans for Airflow
In Warmer Conditions
Even if a facility has A/C, air movement from Big Ass Fans improves a person’s natural cooling mechanisms. Plus, Big Ass Fans can help facilities save lots of energy by supplementing A/C or replacing dozens of high-speed floor fans.
When It’s Colder
What many may not realize is that without airflow to mix up that heat, it’s essentially just money wasted to make the ceiling nice and toasty. The higher the ceiling, the worse the problem gets. By using a Big Ass ceiling fan in winter, you can create the air movement needed to mix heated air at the ceiling with the cold air at the floor, effectively destratifying these layers and erasing the temperature difference. With uniform temperatures throughout the space, heaters don’t need to run as frequently to maintain thermostat set points, resulting in energy savings up to 30%.
